We know what you’re thinking – seafood and buffet? Is that a good choice? A huge YES! While most people love seafood, serving seafood in a buffet is indeed a bit of a challenge. Unlike other meats – chicken and mutton – that can be cooked and served after hours, seafood needs to be served fresh to taste the best.
Here, in today’s post, we give you a list of the best seafood dishes that work well on a buffet. These dishes are some of the most requested ones by our clients.
The Best Seafood Dishes to Serve at Your Next Buffet Party
1. Crab and Avocado Salad
Avocado is the trending ingredient right now. From avocado smoothies to salads and even toasts, this tasty green fleshy fruit is everywhere. Now, include this popular ingredient in your salad along with king crab meat. This is a cold salad that is served with a generous heaping of topping sauces. It’s great for any buffet party and is a great alternative to regular appetizers like chicken Caesar salad.
2. Seafood Platter
The one best thing about seafood is that – there are plenty of choices. Fish, salmon, crabs, prawns, lobster, shrimp, mussels, clams, sardine and even mussels – the choices are endless. Serve different seafood in various styles – grilled, fried, baked, curry, etc.
Give your guests the choice to pick-and-choose so that they can create a personalized seafood platter that appeals to their tastes.
While serving seafood platter, add lemon wedges, topping sauces and naan or pita bread so that people can make a complete meal out of it.
3. Seafood Pizza
